Selected alternatives for you

    This round trip of approximately 31.1 km long leads, as its name "Hiwwe un Driwwe" indicates, to beautiful places on the French side and the German side. Meadows and colorful fields, but also colorful mixed forests make every cyclist's heart beat faster.

    This more sporty round trip links some climbs and descents through charming villages on the French and German sides.

    The route starts on the French side and passes by the Fleckenstein and Schönau ponds - both offer swimming opportunities. 

    The route crosses picturesque valleys and forest of the Palatinate / biosphere reserve of the Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park.

    The villages on both sides of the border will delight you.

    Attention!

    Always be friendly and considerate to everyone you meet along the route.

    Take care of nature, do not destroy plants and always stay on the paths.

    Remember to take your rubbish with you.

    Please always keep your dog on a leash.

    Park only in designated parking spaces.

    Safety information

    Our bike paths often run alongside hiking trails on which we are invited to ride and share with others.

    Farmers and foresters use the agricultural roads through fields and forests for their daily work (even on weekends) and therefore always have priority. 

    Special precautions must also be taken when they run along roads (mostly quiet and little used) in and around Alsatian and Palatine villages.

    Roadbook

    From Lembach, the bike path runs along the Sauer.

    After the campsite and the Fleckenstein pond (possible for swimming), the route leads for a short distance on the D925, then on an asphalted bike path towards Hirschtal and up to Schönau.

    From there, the route passes in front of Königsweiher towards the educational and leisure center of Heilsbach.

    Next, we turn right over the wooden bridge in the Königsbruch. 
    The route continues on the bike path running alongside the water, slightly uphill to Rumbacher-Höhe, then we descend towards Rumbach.

    Arriving at the picturesque half-timbered village of Rumbach, we follow the bike path to Bundenthal.

    At the village exit, we turn right onto the bike path which climbs up to the K46 junction, then descends to the village of Nothweiler.

    The route takes the Lembacher Straße to the bike path, first it climbs slightly then descends until we cross Petit Wingen /D and Wingen /F. We then pass meadows and colorful fields back to our starting point Lembach.
